Let me turn to the chief Investigative Reporter for wnpc here in new york. Jonathan, always good to see you. Less than 24 hours ago, this happened, why are Law Enforcement officials so convinced this guy acted alone . Well, hes talking in the hospital. He is apparently boasting, show knowing remorse about what happened, theres the note in the car that shows isis lives forever was the note left behind, that according to Law Enforcement officials. They say he had gone on to his computer. It shows he was self radicalizing, visiting these websites. There is nothing at this early stage to suggest anyone else involved. They will run it down just in case. Help me with reports that show he was in six degrees of separation way on the radar of spra federal officials. Can you clarify that . There is a past interrogation into a bad actor. Not him. Therefore several acquaintances, hes acquainted with some of those acquaintances, so hes severally removed his names in the database if you l. He was never under investigation, there was no warning sign this attack was coming. Certain intelligence tells Law Enforcement officials he had spent a lot of time down in the area where this attack took place. He was there previously. Do we know thats because hes an uber driver or because he was casing this place . Its very much at the heart of this investigation right now. They are checking to see if these were test run, but they know that he was in that area numerous times in the past and they want to know if he was staking it out or regardless they know he was familiar with that area and perhaps i suggest why. At 2 00, he rent thad truck, drove over the George Washington bridge and came over the west side highway and apparently targeted these bicyclists, joggers and disabled kids on a school bus. He drove his car, according to police, into a mini school bus carrying disabled children. You have been on this story since the word broke. Thank you very much, appreciate it. Savannah, back to you.

Guys, back to this mornings top story, of course this investigation into the deadly truck rampage, god i did schwartz is at bell view hospital where the suspect and many injured are being treated this morning, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, yeah, sayfullo saipou is in this hospital. He is under close guard. He is not saying. He is reportedly proud of what hes done. This morning, authorities are putting together a detailed profile of the accused terrorist sayfullo saipou, the 29yearold is married with two children. Hes from uzbek stan, came in 2010 and has a green card. Right after the deadly attack, he jumped from the truck shouting allahu akbar. They found a note inside the truck claiming he acted for isis. Neighbors telling police, saipou is very religious, living with his family in his paterson, new jersey, apartment. But he has a florida drivers license which lists an apartment complex. A woman moved in several months ago, but doesnt know saipou and never seen him. Saipou was a truck driver with commercial driving licenses in georgia and florida. Hes been an uber driver. Uber says he passed the background check with no problem adding that the company is cooperating with authorities. It leads officials to suspect saipou may be a lone wolf, a single individual inspired bier terrorist organizations, but not directly working for one. The new terrorist tactic are these lone wolves who commit an act of terror. Reporter last year, three attacks were carried out by lone wolves in the u. S. According to authorities. Omar mateen, a lone wolf who pledged allegiance to isis attacked the pulse nightclub in orlando killing 49 people and injured 53. Bombing in the chelsea neighborhood of new york injuring 31 people. Akbar roux many was it lone wolf. And Ohio State University wounded 11 people, police say lone wolf attacker was a somali refugee inspired by terrorist propaganda. Investigators are now piecing together a timeline of what happened. They say that yesterday around 2 00, he drove a minivan to a home depot in new jersey. There he rented a truck, drove that truck over the George Washington bridge into manhattan before the attack. Savannah, back to you. All right, thank you very much. And im joined now by nbc news National Security analyst michael lighter, good morning, good to see you. Good morning. Here we are, were standing in the shadow of the World Trade Center whereby im looking right at the building, what strikes you about this . It is the bookends that weve seen. The World Trade Center, 16yearold, big cop plex attacks planned overseas, executed with 19 hijackers and today what we see in this threat, small scale, one individual renting a truck, still terrorizing the community. Thats how the threat has morphed from 9 11 to today. Were learning more about the suspect. He is reportedly from use beck stan. That didnt surprise you, this is a region thats been a problem for a while. Central asia have produced a significant amount of radicalized individuals. As i mentioned to you, there are more people in syria than any other region in the world for foreigners. So this is an area where theyve been very, were repressive governments, very strong strain of islam which is intended to be extreme. Not exactly the same as we what saw in the tsarnaevs, but similar. And the propaganda, if youre reading this kind of jihadist literature as we understand this suspect may have been, is it saying go get in the car. Get in a truck, do this kind of attack . Absolutely. This is what al qaeda started to say but its what isis picked up three or four years ago. Dont worry about guns or planes, go get a truck, run people over. Its worked in france, barcelona, in the uk, and now here in the United States. Its just very difficult for officials to defend against. Its hard to defend against. And also hard to detect. If youre talking about a lone wolf who by all appearances seems normal, but is harboring these kinds of plans in their heart, i mean, how do you, how do you even find that . Its very difficult. We have generally looked for the networks because with networks theres communication and you can tech those communications. Now when youre looking at individuals sitting at home looking at their computer, you can monitor those websites, understand why it might radicalize them, but it relies on a partnership between police and Law Enforcement and government and communities, the muslim communities to identify these people. No ones better at that than new york city and then it can still happen and highlights how hard it is for us all over the world. Always good to get your experti expertise. Appreciate it. For the moment, matt and hoda, back to you guys. All right. We appreciate that, savannah, thank you very much. Mr. Roker is here, what do you have . Snow to talk about. Winterlike perhaps. Especially in the Northern Rockies and the Western Plains. Montana all the way just to south of minneapolis and west minneapolis along a warm front. Itll be a quick round of snow. Make for difficult track with blowing and drifting, but were not looking for huge accumulations. In fact been around the minnesota area, were talking about maybe an inch to two inches into northern wisconsin, but the maef amounts are going to be around mizzou la down to yellow stone out to gillette and one to two feet. Skier action starting to get good morning, im meteorologist, kari hall. Well have a couple more days of dry weather before the rain an mountain snow moves in. We are 59 degrees in halfmoon bay. Napa, 69. Palo alto, 68 degrees. Upper 60s for the trivalley and tracking that storm system moving ahead of that.

We are coming on the air at this hour to bring you a briefing by new york city officials moments from now about yesterdays deadly terrorist attack here in Lower Manhattan. As we have been reporting, a man driving a rented pickup truck drove onto a bike path here and mowed down pedestrians and bikers, 8 People Killed, 11 injured. The driver is said to be a 29yearold immigrant from uzbekistan. He was shot by police and taken into custody. Hes now hospitalized. We report this had morning a note found in his truck said, quote, isis lives forever. Thats a translation. The attack unfolded just about 20 hours ago. The driver drove to new york city from new jerseys then down west side of manhattan entering the bike path traveling almost a mile. I want to go straight to new york city officials. Lets listen in. After the fire commissioner, chief gomez, miller on the end, lieutenant colonel. Were seeing an array of new york city officials. Getting the press organized and themselves organized. Theyre about to brief members of the public. I see the governor of new york, the commissioner of police here in new york city as well as other officials, antiterrorism officials. Here we go. Fbi investigation into yesterdays truck terror attack on the west side of Lower Manhattan. Today an update on some of the things weve learned overnight. Were going to get an update on the injured from fdny commissioner and then hear from mayor de blasio and Governor Cuomo. The u. S. Attorney for the Southern District of new york, commissioner roger pirino is here, and joe esposito from oem, the commissioner of oem. I would like to thank the state police for being here today and for everything they did yesterday. Carlos gomez will lay out some of the security plans we have in place in light of yesterdays event. And ahead of sundays new York City Marathon and an update on the traffic situation on the west side. Bill sweeney, the assistant director in charge of the u. S. Office of the fbi will make a statement. And then john miller, Deputy Commissioner of intel and counter terrorism, will share with you some of the details about the work that were doing on this case. You have to understand that this investigation is still in its infancy. We do not yet have all the answers, and there are details today and there will be more down the road. Not everything were going to be able to share with you. In terms of casualties, this is the worst terror attack in new york city since september 11, 2011. I want to take a minute to commend all new yorkers, commend everyone who lives in, works in, and visits our great city because no one in this city is complacent. We saw the strength of that resolve last night with the very large crowds that attended the annual halloween parade in the village, and well see it again on sunday when 50,000 people compete in the marathon and another 2. 5 Million People cheer them along the route. The nypd, the fbi and all of our Law Enforcement and partners remembers our past. We work very, very hard together. Each and every day to prevent the type of thing that occurred here yesterday. What happened yesterday was not okay. It will never be something any of us will just accept as inevitable. Since 9 11 we, again, along with our partners at the local, state, and federal level disrupted or prevented two dozen plots against new york city. Counselless lives have been saved but none of that matters when eight innocent lives are taken by a criminal committing a cowardly act driving a rental truck. Were working hard to get to the bottom of exactly what happened yesterday and why. And were working tirelessly to prevent anything like this from getting repeated. I tell you as often as i can that true Public Safety is a shared responsibility. Law enforcement and Government Agencies are doing what we can. The men and women who work with us do it better than anyone anywhere in the world. All the people who commute in every day and all the tourists, thats a minimum of 17 million extra eyes and ear that is can remain vigilant on behalf of all of us. I talk about this all time, if you see something that makes you uncomfortable, you have an obligation to flag down a police car. Give us the opportunity to investigate that. I want to thank everyone for their ongoing help today and every day. Thank you again for the Swift Response by the nypd officers, the new York State Police and ems workers who did a really great job under the circumstances. And right now let me introduce commissioner who will give you an update on the injuries from yesterday. Thank you. I will be nonspecific regarding the privacy of the victims. There were 20 victims in yesterdays attack. Six were pronounced dead at the scene. We transported 14 victims to three hospitals, two of those victims were pronounced, so the total number of deaths were eight. Six of those were citizens of other countries, five from argentina, one from germany, two were americans. Of the 12 remaining, thankfully three have been released from the hospital, nine remain in the hospital. Four of those were critically injured but are in stable condition. The others are seriously injured. The injuries ranged from a bilateral amputation to serious head, neck, back, and chest trauma and trauma to arms and legs. This was a heinous attack that resulted in eight deaths and serious injuries. Our prayers are with the families of those who died and those who remain in the hospital. Thank you, commissioner nigro, and thank you to all of the men and women of the fdny, all of the First Responders, all the emts who went to the aid of those who were afflicted and did it so well. I want to start by thanking all of my colleagues who are here. Thank you, Governor Cuomo and all of our state partners who are here, all of our federal partners. Thank you, congressman jerry nadler, for joining us. Everyone is here in common cause. This was an attack on the United States of america and an attack on new york city, an attack on our people, and it was the definition of terrorism, an effort to take away peoples hope and spirit and to make them change. And what new yorkers showed already is we will not change. We will not be cowed. We will not be thrown off by anything. And this cowardly act targeting the most innocent people in the middle of the most innocent pursuits was meant to make people feel they could not go about their daily lives, and what we saw last night, Governor Cuomo and i went to our annual halloween parade. A million new yorkers showed up for that event, and as we spoke with them, they were undeterred. They were strong. That made me very proud of new york city and all of the people of this country to see that strength in the face of adversity. This morning people went to work. Kids went to school. No one thought there was any choice but to stand up to this act of terror. So as we now move forward, we start with giving our prayers to the families of the eight who were killed. They, as you heard, six of them came from other nations here because they saw new york as a special place to be, and we now and forever will consider them new yorkers. They shared this tragedy with us. We will remember them as new yorkers. They were here because this city is a beacon to people all over the world, a place that every kind of person comes to and is respected, and that wont change. 8. 5 Million People here. We understand this was an attack on our values. It was an effort to break our spirit. But as an effort to break our spirit, it failed. New york city is a very strong and resilient place. We have great faith in the men and women who protect us with such pride in the nypd. And we see them on duty and we know they are the very best. So were strong. Were a resilient people because we know were protected and we know that this place works when people dont feel deterred. And ill tell you this violence was an effort to make us blink and we wont blink. We wont change. The nypd yesterday showed us once again how much new yorkers can rely on them, and i want to commend officer ryan nash. I spoke to him earlier today. A good, young man, five years on the force. He was very humble about what he did. But what he did was extraordinary and gave people such faith and such appreciation in our police force. Now this investigation, as youve heard, has just begun. Its important to emphasize, again, this morning that we do not see any additional credible and specific threats against new york city. We will constantly keep people posted. We do ask everyone to be vigilant. Be a part of the solution. Share what you know with the police. Dont think twice. Give information to our officers and many of those previous efforts to underminus the commissioner referenced those, almost two dozen previous efforts to attack new york city, a number of them were stopped because good people came forward with information and time. We need everyone to understand they can do that, too. As we move forward, we look forward to the marathon. It will go on as scheduled. It will be bell protected and we will take measures to ensure that. But my message to all new yorkers is to be new yorkers. Be strong, be proud, be resilient. Show the whole world that we will not be moved by terror. Again, you see everyone here, every Agency United in common cause. And this is also part of what makes us strong. And with that i want to thank for his efforts and the states efforts and welcome Governor Cuomo. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Let me begin by asking us all to remember in our thoughts and prayers the eight lives that were lost tragically. That is damage that can never be undone, and there are families today feeling pain that is unimaginable. Mayor de blasio, to the nypd, the fdny, the state police. I was on the scene yesterday. The performance was phenomenal. And the coordination and the effort was top shelf. And it gives one reassurance to know that there is this level of professionalism and expertise protecting the people of this city and this state. Its also important to remember that while the leadership of the Police Departments is top shelf, officer nash, five years on the job, 28 years old, he was a hero. And the nypd is not just the leadership. Its the men and women who are out there every day who are on the first line, and i think officer nash really showed how important they are and how talented and how brave. So we all applaud and congratulate him. I spoke to the Homeland Security secretary yesterday who pledges full coordination with all of the federal efforts and the fbi. I think its important that we are all working as one and this kind of situation there is no alternative. This is not a time to have politics. This is not a time to point fingers. This is not a time to find blame. Its a time to come together and work for a common goal. The effort yesterday killed eight people. But, in my opinion, the effort failed because the effort was not to kill eight people. The effort was to disrupt us, to terrorize us, to scare us, to create mayhem. Thats the effort. Thats the goal on all of these attacks. New york is a special target because we have that statue of liberty in our harbor were proud of holding that torch for freedom and democracy. But weve seen it all around the world, and it is to create mayhem and terrorize. And it failed. The mayor is exactly right. The halloween parade last night was a beautiful example of the failure of the attempt a. Million new yorkers came out with their families, with their children. They celebrated. They were there. Just a number of hours after the incident and it was new yorks way of saying we will not be deterred. We are not terrorized. You will not win. We said that in 1993 after the World Trade Center bombing, the first time. We said that after 9 11. And we said that yesterday, unprompted, spontaneously. They were all there. The mayor i marched, and it was really reassuring to see the resilience of new yorkers. Now youll see increased Police Presence all across the metropolitan area. We are going to double the number of bodies at places of congregation, airports, tunnels, penn station, which has 600,000 people that go through it every day, the most heavily traveled transportation hub in the members fear. I dont want anyone to draw any inference from that. We dont know anything. Were not responding to anything. Its just as a precaution. The same thing at the marathon. The marathon will go on. Because new york goes on and its an important event for all new yorkers. Again, i want to end where i started. The effort by the First Responders was phenomenal. The reaction by new yorkers as evidenced last night, this morning people got up. They went to work. Children went to school. And thats what makes new yorkers special. That strength, that resilience, that ability to be undeterred in the face of ugliness and the actions of a depraved coward because thats what this was this was the actions of a depraved coward. There is no grand statement to what was done. It was the act of a coward. Thats the way it should be regarded because thats the way it was. I was proud to be the governor of the state of new york last night. Im proud every day but seeing new yorkers response made me feel especially proud and, again, to the team you see assembled up here, the nypd, the fdny, the seamless coordination really is something to behold and a source of strength. Just to reiterate what the governor and the mayor said, now is not the time to live in fear. Its not the time to be fearful. Now is the time for all new yorkers to be strong as we always are. Right now, chief carlos gomez, our chief of department, will talk about what were doing to increase security throughout the city. Carlos . Good morning, everyone. Immediately following yesterdays attack in Lower Manhattan the department quickly mobilized resources and heavy weapons teams to key locations. Attracted over a million participants was also security at that parade was enhanced. We added more sand trucks, more blocker vehicles to the side streets that led on to sixth avenue. We assigned more in the area. More k9s in our subway system. And heavy weapons teams from our Strategic Response group as well as our Critical Response command. Will be deployed to major hubs. Traffic closure remain in effect and i would like to point out the west side highway from 14th street down to the tunnel. It still remains an active crime scene and we anticipate it will be closed until early this evening. Motorists, please avoid that area. Were just a few days away from the marathon, over 51,000 runners will participate as the commissioner said 2. 5 million spectators will line the streets. Its going to be a very safe event. Weve added more sand trucks, more blocker vehicles. I can give you the exact number. I cant give it to you but it would be the most ever deployed at this event. We more than doubled our counter sniper teams from the Emergency Services unit throughout the boroughs and not just here in manhattan. And weve added more heavy weapons teams throughout the city, officers from our Emergency Services unit, from our Strategic Response group, and from our Critical Response command. Theyll be at six locations along the route but they will also have mobile response capability if they are needed elsewhere. This increase will supplement the substantial detail of uniformed officers that youll see along the route but there will be officers in civilian eye tire and plain clothes you wont see mixing in with the crowds to detect any suspicious activity. A large number of k9s and counterterrorism officers with their equipment. Our aviation helicopters will patrol from above. Theyll survey rooftops as well as the route. And certainly Traffic Control agents will have the hard task of keeping traffic moving in the affected areas. As the commissioner said 8. 5 million new yorkers, several million other tourists, a lot of eyes and ears in our city. If you see something, say something. Tells an officer. Call 911. Certainly you could call the new york city terrorism hotline 888nycsafe. We look for it to be a safe and enjoyable sunday. Thank you. Thanks, carlos. Now well hear from bill sweeney, director in charge of the new york fbi office. Bill and his people continue to be great partners in new york city. Bill . Thank you. Good morning, everybody. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims families especially this morning and for all those still recovering. Right now the new york jttf which is surprised of about 50 plus agencies is following up on related leads as we work to process and analyze intelligence information related to yesterdays attack. Like last year our partner jttf in newark is fully engaged. Both of those here in new york and in newark are operating for the foreseeable future. We have joint terrorism across the country following up on leads as we generate them. The investigation is still in its early stages. I think the public understands that need for the love of Operational Security and for that reason may not be able to answer specific questions on how much or what we know. I can say weve been conducting searches throughout the night and expect they will continue, evidence collection on the scene to continue to at least early this afternoon but more likely to early this evening. We are grateful for the patience and resiliency of the workers and people who reside in the tribeca area. Im asking the public to call us with any information you may have. We set up a hotline. The two numbers are on the charts to your left. 1800callfbi. Obviously the nypd number is up there as well, but we have a second site which is vitally important. It is a link where the public can upload their videos and their photographs that they may have obtained when they were down at the scene. That link is fbi. Gov nyctribeca that allows the public to upload those videos so we can review them for additional evidence. Thank you for your cooperation. Thank you, jimmy. Now john miller will give us an updated chronology of what happened yesterday and will talk about the investigation. Again, what bill said, i know youre going to have a lot of questions but we have to let this investigation get more mature. Its not even 24 hours yet. There will be some things we can tell you and a lot of things we cant tell you. John . Thanks, commissioner. Just to reiterate, we are in the early stages of this investigation, so the information im going to give you today remains preliminary meaning some details, time lines, et cetera, may change as we develop more granular information. This investigation is being carried out jointly by the nypd fbi joint Terrorism Task force and the Intelligence Bureau of the nypd with the counsellor Terrorism Bureau and hundreds of detectives who responded to the scene and worked through the night developing evidence and following leads. The time line as we have it now starts at 2 06 p. M. At which point the suspect rents a large vehicle from the home depot located in passaic, new jersey. According to license plate readers on the George Washington bridge, he exits the bridge into new york city southbound on the west side highway at 2 43 p. M. At 3 04, a Port Authority camera on top of an air vent outside the holland tunnel, shows the vehicle entering the bike lane and traveling at a high rate of speed southbound at west street and huston street. At this point according to witnesses, video and investigation, he appears to target bicycle riders and pedestrians within the southbound bike lane traveling at a high rate of speed. That ends when he collides with the school bus injuring a number of additional people. At 3 08 p. M. We get more than a dozen 911 calls reporting people down, the school bus accident, and a man with a gun in the street. Two first precinct Police Officers who were out on another call are alerted by civilians about the activity going on outside. They leave that location. Theyre joined by a third officer. They observe a man who appears to be waving a gun and yelling at the scene of the accident, and they observe people down on the scene. One of those officers, brian nash, takes action and fires his Service Weapon bringing the attack to an end. As the injured were being removed by Fire Department and ems personnel and being triaged at the scene, a perimeter was set up around that truck and the nypd bomb squad was cleared in to clear that vehicle for any suspicious devices. The suspect is identified as Sayfullo Saipov, a 29yearold legal permanent resident of the United States who came into the country from uzbekistan in march of 2010. Overnight, based on the investigation, there have been a number of search warrants executed and there may be more, witnesses interviewed, associates tracked down and other activity. Weve been able to piece together a number of facts. Recovered in and around the vehicle were multiple knives, two imitation pistols, one a paint ball gun and a pellet gun. There are 8 dead and 12 injured. We have a lot to go through. The Detective Bureau in particular using hundreds of detectives has been going up and down the west side highway on both sides of the street meticulously trying to i pick up every piece of video from every security camera, every traffic camera, every bank camera, anything that will help us put together this time line and have the imagery to go with it so we can reconstruct as much of this as possible. Well also be reviewing license plate reader data, not just our own but from the surrounding area, to help reconstruct the suspects movement over the preceding days as well as interviews with associates. The suspect was transported to bellevue hospital. We are awaiting to hear an update on his condition today. Obviously he is in custody and under arrest. Based on the investigation overnight, it appears mr. Saipov had been planning this for a number of weeks. He did this in the name of isis and along with the other items recovered at the scene was some notes that further indicate that. He appears to have followed almost exactly to a t the instruction that is isis has put out in its social Media Channels before with instructions to their followers on how to carry out such an attack. At this point well open it up for questions. Commissioner . Yes . [ inaudible ] the mayor talked about this yesterday, and its a big city. I know the bike path very well. Of course were going to take a look at that now. I said yesterday we learned from every even, not just in this city but across the world. Yes . Have you had a chance to talk to the suspect and what did he say . Bill or john . The suspect was interviewed at the hospital, and were not going to be able to go into his statements in any specificity. This side. Right there. I have a question for Governor Cuomo. [ inaudible ] and for the Police Commissioner we have sources telling us that authorities knew his associate before this incident. Does that mean that these were already investigating suspects . Ill let commissioner miller talk about that. John, do you want to answer that first . Sure. What we can say is mr. Saipov has never been the subject of an nypd Intelligence Bureau investigation nor has he been the subject of an fbi investigation. We know that through our work with the jttf and bill overnight. What we are looking for is how has he touched the subjects of other investigations, what is his connectivity to those people . Were building out in concentric circles to try and document that, but it appears he will have some connectivity to individuals who were the subjects of investigation though he, himself, was not. I received calls yesterday from the Homeland Security secretary and from the Homeland Security adviser in the white house, mr. Bossert, and both offered any and all help to new york city in this moment. And said they would be 100 available to us in any way going forward. Those calls happened give or take 7 00 yesterday evening. Nothing present directly, no. I received no call from the president. I also received call from the Hospital Security secretary, acting secretary duke. And we spoke about coordination of resources, jttf, fbi but basically did we need any other assistance from the federal government. I actually received a phone call from the acting secretary, also, a little bit after 8 00. David . Commissioner [ inaudible ] are you bothered that you didnt get this call but the president went on twitter to essentially attack new york city [ inaudible ]. Look, im not bothered at all because two senior officials called promptly and offered help, and i think that was appropriate. We are here to talk about this situation, the facts and no one here wants to politicize any of this and i doan think anyone should politicize this tragedy at this moment in time. Every focus should be on those whose lives were lost, on their families, on the work we have to do in this investigation. Weve been listening to the briefing going on at new York City Police headquarters from a number of officials including the governor of new york, the mayor of new york, the Police Commissioner, and have learned a few more details about this attack that unfolded yesterday afternoon including that the suspect here appeared, according to officials, to be planning this for several weeks. We know that he rented this truck, this home depot truck, this weapon of destruction at 2 06 yesterday afternoon and one hour later was going down fast at a high rate of speed mowing over civilians, pedestrians, cyclists, and killing eight people. Let me get to nbcs Pete Williams who has been listening in this afternoon. Pete, what more could you add . Well, in addition to the note found at the truck about isis lives forever, Officials Say that they know he was consuming isis propaganda online, looking at this isis material, and had begun doing so, they say, recently. They cant be more specific than that. And they say that he appears to be radicalized on his own. They dont know of anyone in the United States or overseas that he was in contact with about this attack. They dont believe there was anyone in the u. S. Aware of it or who was helping him. Thats always a big question and theyre going to look more into that but so far no indication, nothing obvious that he had help. As to why he began consuming isis propaganda, they dont know. We have talked to friends of his who say he recently began to show an interest in it but why that is, whether there was some precipitating event, whether there was some crisis in his life or something that he found offensive, we just dont know. Authorities say they havent found that yet, savannah. And, pete, it was interesting to hear that counterintelligence official john miller say this suspect had been interviewed at the hospital. He didnt want to characterize it. Do we have any reporting on his level of cooperation . I think at this point its fair to say his level of cooperation is zero. What were told by several officials is that he was talking to the authorities. They went in there very quickly last night after he came out of temperament for his gunshot wound and that he was smug and not at all repentant and, if anything, proud of what he had done. Now we dont know when the charges will be filed. There will be federal charges. They could be filed as early as today. Were told when to move on that is still under discussion. All right, Pete Williams. They also found a couple of knives in and around the car. Im joined by Kristen Dahlgren covering the victims. Weve learned of more grievous injuries as well. We have eight killed, 12 injures. Nine remain in the hospital, four still in Critical Condition today. As for those killed the consulate general of belgium says one woman from that country was killed. He says she was a mother. She had a baby. Also five men from argentina celebrating their 30year anniversary of celebrating high school. We hear about people who are injured and learned this morning from this briefing some of those injuries are quite, quite serious. Some people have been released from the hospital. Kristen, thank you. Pete williams, thank you to you. Much more on nbc. Com. Well see you tonight on nbc nightly newsat sounds good. Mike turico is going to host the prime time coverage for all of us.
